Receiving text and multimedia messages

Depending on your notification settings, the device rings, vibrates, or displays a message briefly in the Status area of the system bar as a new text or multimedia message is received.

A new message icon appears and stays in the notifications area of the system bar to remind you of a new message.

NOTE: To alter the notification settings for new messages, in the Messaging application, touch the Menu button on the device or the

Menu button on the screen→ Settings. Scroll the screen to locate the Notifications settings section. You can then decide whether to display a text notification in the Status area of the system bar when a new message arrives, select a ringtone that rings on the arrival of a new message, or let the device vibrate to notify a new message.

Text and multimedia messages that are sent to and received from the same contact or a number are grouped into message threads similar to text conversations of an online chat. You can see all of the messages exchanged between you and the contact. Message threads are listed according to when they are sent or received, with the latest message at the top.
